Chapter 537 The Rich Monk
Mount Wutai is a good place.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, monks have come here to build temples, and then it flourished from generation to generation. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, more and more temples were built, and it became even bigger in the Tang Dynasty.

The number of monks in the entire Huaxia territory is extremely large, and temples of all sizes are built everywhere, occupying tens of millions of hectares of land in the Tang Dynasty at that time.

It also leads to the event of "destruction of Buddha in Huichang" during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty.

Temples were demolished, monks and nuns were ordered to return to secular life, and land was taken back.

Wutai Mountain was naturally affected at that time, and later Tang Xuanzong revived Buddhism.

Mount Wutai naturally branched out again.

Therefore, Jierhalang led his army to station in Wutai Mountain, so it was inevitable to deal with the monks in the mountain.

After fleeing desperately for two or three hundred miles, Jierhalang's control over the soldiers under his command naturally declined. It cannot be said that they were scattered, but the pressure from the general's communication and the backlog of soldiers on the way to escape was hard to overcome in this vast mountain forest.

He is also careless.

"Thank you Master."

Jierhalang was sitting in the Heavenly King Hall of Wenshu Temple on the top of Bodhisattva. The Han abbot of Qingsi Temple in front of him had just learned from the lama of Huang Temple and gave him a blessing by touching the top of his hand. Seeing him thanking him at this time, he felt a little anxious the way.

"Please also ask the prince to restrain his subordinates, and don't commit any more murders in the dojo where Manjusri Bodhisattva lives."

"Also ask the master to give me food and drink."

Jierharang didn't respond.

Wutai Mountain is rich, the huge white pagoda and Silian Temple are resplendent and resplendent, even more luxurious than the imperial city where they loved their family when they were in Liaodong.

Not only this Xiantong Temple.

There are temples all over the mountain.

After Jierhalang's army entered the mountain, it was okay at first, and the Manchu group still respected the Buddha, even though most of the mountains were Han Qingsi.

But the army is to be stationed separately.

Naturally, the monks were not happy for the army to enter the mountain, and they had sent people over long ago to persuade Jierhalang to go around, but the exhausted army lacked a place to hide and rest, and it was impossible to listen to the persuasion.

If you want to block it with your body, several peaks in the entire mountain are completely unobstructed in front of the army, and they can't surround the mountain.

Jierhalang took some time to go to Xiantong Temple to offer incense, and also garrisoned there, and the troops stationed in the mountains outside inevitably caused chaos.

A nun who was digging a trench at a Buddhist shrine, wanted something to eat, or had a fancy, or hid in a nunnery was found.

So Jierhalang waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring a plate of gold over and put it in front of the abbot to offer the Buddha a takeaway meal, but he didn't make the abbot look good.

Just because the gold might be obtained from local materials.

But this is delusional.

No matter how desperate he is, Qian Jierhalang still has some.

And he also ate the vegetarian meal as he wished.

While eating, the chaos in the mountains has intensified.

Most of the soldiers followed the generals and set up defenses on the main roads in the mountains, guarding against the black flag's attack, but about [-]% of the soldiers wandered around and made trouble.

Naturally, the Black Banner Army chasing down the mountain would not sit idly by.

A large group of monks on the mountain ran down to ask for help. Buddhism has a great influence, at least Tang Hanfu did not dare to ignore it.

Let's launch an attack, the cannons are pulled up, and the monks have another opinion.

It is already a great sin to use swords in Buddhist holy places, and it is necessary to use cannons. If the temples and holy places on the mountain are blown up, what if the mountain burns down?

Tang Hanfu also had a temper, so he was not in a hurry when he heard this.

Said that he was ordered by the banner owner to lead the army as a general, and he would use the lives of the bannermen and armored men to attack without using artillery fire, and they belonged to the banner owner from people to property.

We ourselves are slaves of the banner owner, so we are not qualified to issue this order.

You have to ask the two banner owners, black, red, black and blue, for instructions.

Or
Give me some money.

If the money is generous, some of the black flags will naturally be willing to sacrifice their lives, and the army can also recruit soldiers on the spot, and then in the name of defending the holy land of Buddhism, they will recruit some village warriors from nearby counties to train soldiers.

Before the Qing Dynasty, in order to resist the black flag against the open group training policy of Ming Dashun, it was controlled and restricted after the black flag came to power.

But for a while, the local government can't stop banning it, so according to the division of the government and envoy department, each province has a fixed number of members and is registered in the Ministry of War. The long-term worry cannot be solved, but it is still possible to control it in the short term.

At this time, extra troops are needed, and they can be pulled up.

And when the Eight Banners scattered into Hebei and Shanxi, the existence of regiment training also curbed the Eight Banners military clique's suppression of local people to a certain extent.

And Tang Hanfu also felt that the monks didn't know what was good or bad, and they said it casually.

But the monks and nuns of Mount Wutai were moved.

The Eight Banners are doing evil in the mountains, but the black flags under the mountain are not good in their eyes, just Tartars and another group of Tartars.

However, the practice of the village brave troupe in the nearby state capital is different.

It's close and has a lot of dealings, so spend some money to invite them, and they can get the money back when they make offerings to the Buddha in the future.

"Then do as the general said. Mount Wutai was troubled by the traitors and false kings with the blue flag. It is really the misfortune of our Wutai Mountain Buddhism. The super brave regent is the incarnation of Manjusri Bodhisattva, and the Zhenrong Temple in the mountain is the residence of Bodhisattva. If you let his army In order to harm the mountain gate, I am afraid that the Buddhist land of the Dharma gate will be destroyed, so I ask the general to quickly invite warriors to protect the dharma and wipe out the rebels."

It's a pity that they can't hire someone privately, and they have to let Tang Hanfu take the money to operate, and it is inevitable that they will show their wealth in front of Tang Hanfu.

For the first time, the monk took the initiative to take money out.

The first 2 taels of money for recruiting regiments was placed in front of Tang Hanfu. Soon, the regiments around Mount Wutai reported to the provincial authorities, and they were quickly sent to the capital for approval. Afterwards, the local regiments rushed to Mount Wutai.

The person who approved it was naturally Zhu Youjian.

This is the first time that the Black Banner Qing Dynasty used local regiments to train troops to participate in combat.

Zhu Youjian is also quite concerned.

In the local area, most of the regiments are self-funded and self-funded. This time, with the money paid by the monks, the black flag was full of enthusiasm. Nearly 3000 people arrived at Mount Wutai in just two days.

And then they will also act as forwards to attack the Eight Banners Army entrenched in the mountains.

Then, one business after another was delivered to Tang Hanfu.

Team training is not stupid.

They are really not qualified to be forwards, and it is flawed to have no armor.

But for those who can get a generous salary, and at the same time they have entered the book in the province, the military merit system of the Qing Dynasty is also effective for them.

So the Minister of Hebei Tuanlian, who is the leader of the team training, came to discuss business.

Rent out part of the money to rent the armor of the army, and return it in full after the battle is over.

"If you add another sum of money for loss, the general will pity us Shanxi Erlang. We go to battle to kill the enemy and calm the chaos, and we can't fight the guns with our bodies!"

"Three hundred sets."

The imperial court did not urge, but the masters of black, red, black and blue did. After weighing it, Tang Hanfu nodded in order to use this force to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and reduce the losses of his subordinates.

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General, for everything!"
